Thanks.
Don't know what colour to have it for the weekender. First time it was white. Second time, red. So maybe another change. Lol

Do I see a Pantah coming over the horizon?

No, I don't think so. The one for sale here is too much IMO. It's not one of my favourites. If the price was right though, never say never.

So, not really bought anything for the monster in a while . Although I have bought another Ducati, which was my first ever bike back .

I got some modified standard footrests from Pez, who in turn had got them from the great man Geoff .He had machined off the pillion pegs and powdercoated them . The standard peg position is fine so thought these would work in clearing up the look of the rear wheel area . I think they work a treat, may just need to try and figure out a heel guard of some sort .
Some before and after pics .

Looking Good Colin now off to finish the painting.

Luddite · 01-04-2020, 09:22 PM

That's very neat, Colin. Unique but factory looking too.

I don't know how much material is on the reverse of the casting but perhaps you could drill and tap a couple of blind holes to mount some heelguards?

That's the plan . Had a set from a 1100 evo turn up today . £10 ebay bargain . Need to make the holes and a small bracket up I reckon .

That was a bargain, Colin, and will finish it off nicely.

You might not like it. I didn't and got rid. It's easier on the lumpy stuff but make sure you keep your chain adjusted more regular. It's now running closer to the swingarm.
